Why do you think they're going to turn against you? Family is the tightest relationship you have. Think about what they've done for you during yur lifetime. No one is going to care more about you than family.
Wow, seriously? Lemme just...

That's Jesus, speaking. See, that's the part you're missing; ideally, family would be the strongest bond you have, but christianity spends its time demanding that you prize the religion more than anything, family included; anyone who can say what you did evidently isn't so familiar with their bible.
I'm familiar with the verse. I hear Jesus telling them that they shouldn't love their faimily more that they love God. He didn't say anything about loving their relligion more than family. And he most certainly didn't say that we sholdn't love our family. If we love God, we love our family. Actuallu my comment about families helping children stay out of trouble was based on real life studies done on the subject, not on the bible.
